Magnetic compression anastomosis, as a new type of anastomosis, mainly includes esophageal anastomosis, gas
At present, there are few reports on the relationship between MCA and optimal magnetic force, and the evaluation criteria of optimal magnetic force are inconsistent. We think that such studies are not enough.
To investigate the influence of different magnetic magnets on the anastomosis formed by MCA of digestive tract.
Colonic MCA was performed on two groups of rats using two sets of magnets of the same size but different magnetic forces. The anastomotic specimens were collected 4 wk after operation to evaluate the formation of the anastomosis in the two groups.
There was no significant difference in operation time, bursting pressure and anastomotic diameter between the two groups. The discharge time of the strong magnet group was slightly longer than that of the common magnet group, but the difference was not statistically significant. The anastomosis of the two groups of specimens healed well, the continuity of the mucosa was good, and there was no difference in healing.
The results indicate that there is no significant difference in the formation of the anastomosis between the magnets with different magnetic forces used in this experiment.
Although this study seems to have a negative result, it has important significance in the basic research of MCA.
